If you were Eli Grimmett

I have hunted that unit(s) quite a bit. I have never seen anything nearing 80" but have taken some decent MT representative bucks out of there. Couple would no doubt make the stick and string book if I cared to enter... but B&C is probably a pipe dream there.

Good luck

I've always thought that there should be great numbers of antelope in that unit...It has never made sense to me why I don't see very many when I drive through there

 

[EliAGrimmett]

There will be some excellent names

Even you helped name that buck with those giant tops a couple years ago

 

[The Hedgehog]

So far the names are:

#1 Bad Ass MoFo with the inward curled prongs. #1 “Seriously” for short

#2 missed with arrow big prongs. #2 “You’ll do” for short.

We don't have antelope in Montana. Only speed goats.

#1 was killed opening AM. We thought for sure we’d be taking the 1st 80” antelope entered from the area, but it appears this is a dwarf subspecies of pronghorn. Looked like a big one on the hoof, stocky and older. Maybe 65# on the hoof. Was no trouble to throw on a pack and carry 1/2 mile. This was the first buck we saw while looking, actually the first antelope. Saw a handful of others that looked about as good but who knows when they are midget sized. Very fun time none the less but I wouldn’t recommend this place at all for antelope guys wanting a big one, or plenty animals to see.

Thank goodness for the iPhone fisheye. It’s actually a world record..

Looks like cool country in which to chase midget pronghorn.

 

[The Hedgehog]

I misjudged him by about 7” in score, probably 10” if an official measurer were to do it.

 

[Mica Man]

Is the antelope a midget or the guy holding it?

 

[The Hedgehog]

What’s the guess on score? I just taped it and tried my best to not gift. Tell numbers, length, prong, base etc.

Is the antelope a midget or the guy holding it?

Don’t tell @JohnCushman.

And when it comes to silly long arm instagram fodder pics, here’s another i tallied up tonight. Which one is better? And see if you can decode the bullshittery in the pics.
For starters mine is the one with the longer skull..

The guessing stuff is dumb. Here’s what I ended up with. I tried to be careful but I’d guess an official will be even lower.

Regardless , some extra fun hunting them. I’m hoping to go a little more this year with other friends

In your defense, it did look bigger than that, and the length on yours is good.

Looks like some prehistoric missing link. Reminds me of that photo of Steven Spielberg next to the triceratops.

Looks like a fun trip.

Let's see...my Montana unit so far has yielded no bucks with hooks, mass, or cutters . Maybe I can find a 14" beanstalk.
